Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining an estimated arrival time of a first transport to a charging station, determining an estimated remaining stored transport energy at the estimated arrival time of the first transport, notifying the first transport to provide a portion of the determined remaining stored transport energy and when a next transport is delayed to the charging station, notifying the first transport to provide an additional portion of the determined remaining stored transport energy based on the delay.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- notifying, via a charging station, a first transport to provide a portion of remaining stored energy;
- determining, via the charging station, an adverse condition exists at the charging station causing a delay in an arrival time of a next transport;
- and
- responsive to the determining, notifying the first transport to provide an additional portion of the remaining stored energy to the charging station, based on the delay.
A system, comprising:
- a charging station;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- notify, via the charging station, a first transport to provide a portion of remaining stored energy;
- determine, via the charging station, an adverse condition exists at the charging station that causes a delay in an arrival time of a next transport;
- and
- responsive to the determination, notify the first transport to provide an additional portion of the remaining stored energy to the charging station, based on the delay.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- notifying, via a charging station, a first transport to provide a portion of remaining stored energy;
- determining, via the charging station, an adverse condition exists at the charging station causing a delay in an arrival time of a next transport;
- and
- responsive to the determining, notifying the first transport to provide an additional portion of the remaining stored energy to the charging station, based on the delay.
